The Edcawber Principle

Poor little thing! Are you usually good at keeping her to a routine, Ed? Maybe the trip unsettled her, even *lovely* things can do that, just like grownups.
Sorry you're scunnered (but I love the word). Not long now. And love your description of FI.2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
She has a very well established routine KC, up at 06:00 most mornings, in bed by 19:30 after a bath, milk and 2-3 stories. Another rotten night last night, Mrs E thinks it might be growing pains in her legs? I do hope not, both Mrs E and I suffered terribly with this when growing up
Yesterday ended up a wee bit more positive than I had expected in the morning.- Went to the gym for my first run of C25K :j
- £150 Christmas cheque paid in (£50 to each of us)
- £100 paid into ISA for DD (VLS80)

Today feels equally grim, but I've brought breakfast and lunch again, paid £2.17 off the CCs and erm, wasn't late

Argh! DD is poorly again
Spent a lovely weekend visiting family in the Borders and England and she had a wee bit of a cough. Fast forward to last night and she had a temperature of 39.7! :eek: Unlike last time, her breathing is normal, so we'll not call NHS24 (yet). We're all exhausted today after sleeping for about 3 hours, Mrs E has had to take unpaid leave.
Pay day for me and I've paid £300+ off the CCs. Debt is back under £20k and I now have 5 cards to pay off (a mere bagatelle)! I'm now in the odd situation of having a pretty healthy credit score by all accounts, but next to no affordability
